My Hard(?) Quiz



Welcome to my quiz page! I have tried to make this a difficult quiz, but I now have to post the answers since people aren't mailing in their answers as I expected. Try to guess first, and then hold your curser over the bullet to view the answer! If there is more than one, please hold your curser over the first one, and then the next one, and so forth. The passage was too long to be put into one.

2. What does Dr. Meade instruct Scarlett to do when Melanie's baby was coming? 'There's nothing much to bringing a baby. Just tie up the cord . . .'

8. How do Rhett and Scarlett differ when it comes to babies? Rhett likes babies, and Scarlett hates them.

9. What is Margaret Mitchell's first description of Ella? (A quote here would be nice...) 'Scarlett's child was a girl, a small bald-headed mite, ugly as a hairless monkey and absurdly like Frank.'

10. What does India say when Dr. Meade lets Scarlett in to see Melly (when she is dying) first, and what was she referring to? 'Doctor,' said India, putting her hand on his sleeve. Though her voice was toneless, it plead more loudly than words. 'Let me see her for a moment.''I've been her since this morning, waiting, but she — Let me see her for a moment. I want to tell her — must tell her — that I was wrong about — something.' (p. 995)'India is referring to the scandal she helped cause about Ashley and Scarlett, that made Melanie mad at her. She wanted to make her peace before Melanie died.



These questions are about the MOVIE now!
